My Article In Reader's Digest, Interview In GOOD Magazine
I have a ~2,300 word article in the May issue of Reader's Digest called, "Consumer Relief: How To Get What You Pay For." It's all about kicking butt as a consumer and getting what you deserve from customer service. You may recognize several of the anecdotes as many of them came directly from reader stories originally posted on The Consumerist. I haven't seen it myself yet and it doesn't seem to be online yet but people tell me it came out nicely. And if you just can't get enough Consumerist.com appearing-in-print action, there's also an interview with me in GOOD magazine out this month as well.

This butt-kicking you refer to, its proverbial correct?
Otherwise, I've got some serious physical feedback to start dolling out.
TimeWarner - you and me, flagpole, 3pm. BE THERE
Good job Ben. I have been a RD reader since I was lil... Very respected content in that lil book :)
Reader's Digest, huh? Your grandmother must be so proud. Just kidding, good luck Ben.
Good job Ben.
Although I hate to admit it, the only place I have ever seen a Reader's Digest is in the um, 'library', next to the, um, 'throne' at my octogenarian parent's house.
Nice work! Will keep an eye out for it
Great job, Mr. Popken! This'll get you closer to regular contributor status!
@DeepFriar: You do realize that they have the cash to hire bouncers, bodyguards, and other goons, right?
It's great to see the word spread about this site. So many people benefit from it :)
Congrats Ben!
Did you also get $100 because they published a joke you sent in?
Just kidding. Good on ya, Ben.
So I see that now WE'VE gotten one of OUR articles published in Reader's Digest (tip: resist the urge to make the comment about old people and people in dental waiting rooms - the publisher doesn't like it), suddenly the royal WE has gone right out the window.
Hrmph.
